Welcome to Earthly Roots’ Community Impact Page, where our commitment to fostering positive change in the Junction District at the Frederick Douglass Center and beyond is evident in every seed sown and every hand that digs deep into the soil.

We recognize the challenges faced by communities living in food deserts, where access to fresh, nutritious food is limited. Through our sustainable gardening initiatives, we strive to bridge this gap by transforming vacant lots into vibrant green spaces that yield bountiful harvests. By cultivating gardens at the Frederick Douglass Center and throughout the Junction District, we provide residents with the tools and resources needed to grow their own food, fostering self-sufficiency and resilience.

At Earthly Roots, we understand that our impact extends beyond the boundaries of a single neighborhood. We are committed to serving as a catalyst for change, inspiring communities to reimagine their surroundings and cultivate a brighter, more sustainable future. Join us in our mission to sow the seeds of transformation and nurture thriving communities, one garden at a time
